I am a little underwhelmed by the sheer range of weapons that have been revealed to exist is this TPS-MMO. It says that there's...

-One assault rifle types
-One light machine gun type
-One sub machine gun type
-One pistol type
-One infector type
-One bio magnetic type
-Two rocket launcher types
-Three sniper rifle types
-Three shotgun types

Looking at this I think for a starting point the variety is a little too short. Unless Trion steps up and adds new archetypes of weapons to each category then we may see a stagnation in the build variations. My initial thoughts are that the blur and cloak EGO builds are predominately targeted with the select variety aimed specifically towards those EGO's. Now all of that can go unsaid if the modifications mechanic swoops in and revitalises all of the guns charactistsics, shifting the balance and variety in other smaller categories.

Anyone have some thoughts onto this? Especially the lucky few who are involved in the Alpha or Beta groups?

Don't know where you got this list, but there is already more than that.... there are special melee rare types.

and these are types.. not weapons. Each type has a set of weapons that go with them. Dont worry there are a lot of guns out there with a lot of mods.

And each of these variations have variations within themselves.

So in a couple of videos before launch you've seen over 14 weapon types you can remember, not to mention the ones that haven't been revealed or ones you've neglected to mention like the melee ground shock thing. And we know there are various mods (we've unlocked at least one with codes).

I think you are worrying over nothing.

Yeah thats not a complete list, its just to give you an idea of whats in game. Specials aren't listed there and like I said that is just showing types of weapons, not all weapons themselves.

Im pretty sure we can expect them to add in DLC as well most likely..

With my Internet being throttled a lot it's hard for me to watch videos at the moment, but the information I am going off of is from the mainsite. Just looking at the minimal information will and could make some people re-consider the current depth available. This could countered by saying a lot of everything is being kept hush-hush?

Yeah, not to mention you're missing detonators in that list...

What are they? or is that NDA stuff?...

When you say "it's not a complete list" do you mean by quite a way off? or is this the main branching areas that new weapons will come from equalling more variety?
